Totally ok, lo gets our antibodies. Wear a mask and feed ideally.

Yes! Mask up (or pump and do bottles ) but it will give baby antibodies
Yep just wear a mask and wash your hands
100% you’ll be passing antibodies to your baby
I actually couldn’t breastfeed my son at all but if I could I def would during illnesses especially (unless you are taking non breastfeeding safe meds) breastfeed the baby as those are great antibodies for your child :) wear a mask as pp suggested if you are scared of it being contagious

Also talk to your pediatrician for any recommendations he/she has!
My baby gave it to me so it didn’t matter! But it randomly increased my supply

Totally fine and my ped recommended it. I masked when nursing, but my baby ended up getting it too. He was only 2 weeks old but had no symptoms- I think bc of all the antibodies that were being passed to him.

At one of his pediatrician appointments. I let our pediatrician know we had it previously (we were out of our isolation period but still masking). She asked if I wanted to test our baby- we did and it was positive.
N95. Entire family got covid when baby was 2 months old, so I isolated with him in the master bedroom. Baby got the least symptoms of us all (fever twice, some cough), and I got the chills once+cough. My breastmilk definitely passed on the antibodies to him.
If you're not sure, pump and feed him your milk. It is very important for them to receive every single t-cell you can provide.
Hope you feel better soon!
